Skipton Land Rover experience.

[Buster73]

Bought a RRS and been given a complimentary driving experience and the nearest one is at Skipton .

Is it worth a dodge down and learning more about the car , if so is it worth making it a full day experience ?

Cheers in advance.

Sorry posted to soon. I was going to say depending on how far you have travelled there are places around to eat, visit and stay over to make more of the trip

90 miles , not worth stopping over , probably do a morning session then have lunch nearby.

How long did it take you to get your invite? I bought an Approved Used RRS two weeks ago and nil heard so far.

End of October, it was a new car , don’t know if that makes any difference though ?

Quick update, went down on Monday for 1.00 pm , met by our driver / instructor and given the usual health and safety sign your life away talk.

Went down with my brother who’d bought a Velar albeit privately so no official invite for him .

Given a run round the technology on his Velar which we’d gone down in, then swapped into a RRS for the driving aspect, kept swapping over between us , did things in their car that I wouldn’t have tried in mine to be honest.

Pros.
Well impressed with the set up , and the driving course along with our instructor.
The RRS is far more capable off road than you imagine.

Cons.
Asked to swap into a Velar for the second trip round and told no , but one sat there doing nothing, thought that was a bit odd .

Would have liked to have a go in some really steep tracks compared to what we did.

Verdict.
Well worth a half day trip , think it would be a bit tedious for a full day.

8/10

Got my invite just before Christmas and rang up last week to book at Eastnor, next available weekend is in September!

Don’t think I was offered a weekend to be honest.
